tal In there is an internal coaxial In. Which one is activated is controlled by the Jumper 3 (JP3) as
indicated in the following diagram:

Position A – internal input

The External Digital In

The digital input can recieve standard S/PDIF signals at 32/44.1/48kHz
from normal consumer devices. CD players, MiniDisc or DAT players fall
into this category.
The Basics.
If you want to digitally recieve music from another device to your PC you will want to use the
optical digital input (often called TOS-Link).

The Internal Digital In

The internal digital input can be set to support two different fomats by
adjusting the Jumper 2 (JP2). In the jumper position S/PDIF In, the digi-
tal input corresponds to the S/PDIF standard known from consumer
devices, such as MiniDisc or DAT recorders. The jumper position TTL is
intended for connecting the digital output of most CD-ROM drives be-
cause these usually operate with TTL levels.
